FAQ

The current address for the Cliff House is:     1090 Point Lobos, San Francisco, CA
Any idea if this was the address back in Adolph Sutro's time?
The street was variously referred to as Seal Rock Road, Seal Rock Drive, Cliff House Road, and Point Lobos Avenue. I'm betting in the 19th century it was something simple like "The Cliff House, Seal Rock Road, San Francisco."

The answer will be in the old City Directories at the main SF Library.

Here's one such directory, but unfortunately it's not dated:  directory
